A New Two-Fluid Radiation-Hydrodynamical Model for X-ray Pulsar Accretion Columns
Brent F. West, Kenneth D. Wolfram, Peter A. Becker
Previous research centered on the hydrodynamics in X-ray pulsar accretion columns has largely focused on the single-fluid model, in which the super-Eddington luminosity inside the…
